BLOG: CHOP UPDATE

Made it to CHOP today. Zachy has to see at least 5 more specialists, get blood work, X-rays, and more early intervention therapy added on. I’m wiped. Thx to those who helped get us there and back today. Going to bed. 10days till Peco is due. Now on to my apts and testing once I can afford it including surgical consult. Oye.

Anyone who reads my blog, follows my rants etc, knows my current situation that I have finally allowed reality to overcome my pride due to a $2500+ Peco Electric bill due on May 4th, health insurance that hit the donut hole in January throwing my copays for medication alone over $3,000/month of which I can’t afford and NEED to survive, my car payment I let go this month to put food on the table, car & homeowners insurance due in a few days I can’t afford and need even more so right now since I was recently robbed, mounting costs to raise two toddlers, both of which are special needs children, etc..

My parents are finally tapped due to all of this and actually putting their timeshare in OCMD for sale because of my Father’s healthcare costs as well since he is self employed. I don’t qualify for special assistance because the government feels $750/month (after my MediCARE health insurance premium from social security disability) is more than enough to support two toddlers and myself. Their father, Brian, actually gives me every last cent he has left from his paycheck to help with my mounting healthcare costs, after he pays his bills, which is far more than he would be required to do, and technically isn’t required to in the first place, but to answer everyone’s questions, yes he has stepped up to the plate above and beyond.

Please note:

– If you Send a donation to Paypal using the above button, or going to their site and sending to the email address QuirkyMurphy@Gmail.com , PayPal charges NOTHING to me per transaction via “send $ to family and friends” or just under 3% per transaction on my end at the donation page or GoFundMe charges me 9% per transaction… Just because the date is rapidly approaching and I am nowhere near my goal, doesn’t mean every little cent, big or small donation, or click of a share button via social media won’t benefit in someway, even after the date passes…

– If you donate via the GoFundMe account, I am charged roughly 9% per transaction, and don’t get the funds immediately, as I do with Paypal.

– If sick animals can raise $5,000, $10,000+++, I am hoping I can reach our goal as well.

– EVERY donation, regardless of amount, will be rewarded in some way, even if donated before I am able to finally get the donation rewards or incentive rewards level tiers up and running.
